Plarium, who was recently acquired by casino giant Aristocrat, is perhaps best known as the developers of online strategy games like Vikings: War of Clans and Stormfall: Age of War. The company did however start out as a casual games developer, releasing Farmandia for Facebook 2009, and it appears they are now going back to their roots. The company recently launched a whole new portal dedicated solely to its casual games. The new casual site features games such as Family Zoo: The Story, Undersea: Match & Build, and a browser version of Gardenscapes, which was originally developed for mobile by Playrix Games. Most of the games on the site are only available for mobile, however Gardenscapes and Family Zoo can be played online. At the moment there are only a few titles in the portfolio, but Plarium plans on adding more games in the near future. Their recent acquirement by Aristocrat is also becoming more visible as we see promotions for Heart of Vegas Slots on the site.

Grab your Nintendo 64 controllers and crack open a Mountain Dew Surge kids, we’re going back to the past to give a platform to one of Florida’s worst attorneys. Jack Thompson, best known for his failed campaign against the games industry ultimately leading up to being disbarred in disgrace for disparaging litigants, making false statements to tribunals, etc, has once again returned to exploit school shooting victims and this week ran an op-ed in The Washington Examiner (archived) to remind us of something we all know: Jack Thompson has no qualms about lying to push his agenda.

The FBI finds fascination with violent entertainment to be a trait of school shooters … [Read more...] about [Column] Fact Check: You Can’t Teach An Old Jack New Tricks

In all my years of covering Blizzard and World of Warcraft, I have never seen Blizzard fans so exasperated and disheartened than now. Gamers who emotionally invested themselves in their games over the years feel betrayed by Blizzard. Much like the bond Mac users have with Apple, there was always a sense of unwavering loyalty between Blizzard and their fans. The formerly unapologetic Blizzard created exceptional games to the beat of their own drum and timeline — and the fans rewarded them for it with undying devotion and adulation. Blizzard is in serious trouble. The overwhelmingly negative votes in a YouTube video for a new mount in World of Warcraft is an accurate barometer of the fans mood. Even the stock price of Activision/Blizzard has fallen by approximately 44% from its high in October 2018. The utter disgust that gamers have toward the new Blizzard and their tone-deaf avarice is staggering. One YouTube commenter has nailed the sentiment with a humorous parody of the … [Read more...] about New Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Doubles Down on Identity Politics
